Count by 2505

Here we will show you how to count by 2505, discuss counting by 2505 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2505 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2505 means counting in 2505s, or count by two thousand five hundred fives, and it is also called skip counting by 2505.

How to count by 2505
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2505, we count 2505, 5010, 7515, 10020, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 2505 or skip counting by 2505, we start with 2505 and then add 2505 to get the next number, and then continue adding 2505 to the previous number to keep counting by 2505, like this:

2505
2505 + 2505 = 5010
5010 + 2505 = 7515
7515 + 2505 = 10020
10020 + 2505 = 12525
...

You can of course skip count by 2505 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2505 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2505, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2505, and so forth.

Count by 2505 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 2505s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

Skip counting always creates patterns. Figuring out these patterns may help you if want to count by 2505, but don't have the Counting by 2505s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 2505s is that the number increases by 2505.

Furthermore, if you look at each row above, each number in the row has the same last digit (ones place). That means that every tenth number has the same last digit.

If you look down the columns, you will see that the last digit (ones place) repeats itself in blocks of 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 2505 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 2505.
